This of course raises an important question: Why does Jeff Madsen hate Eric Froehlich?

If you recall, Froehlich became the youngest bracelet winner last year, and then the youngest to two this year when he captured the invented out of nowhere $1,500 PLO + rebuys event.

However, Madsen wouldn’t let E-Fro keep that "title" for very long. In this completely fictitious feud we’re inventing between the two, Madsen was utterly determined to steal E-Fro’s thunder. He (probably) thought to himself, "Damn that E-Fro. I’m going to steal his thunder. I hate him. I will do anything to stop him." So Madsen, with fire in his eye and spite in his belly*, did what he had to do. Madsen went out and won Event #30 ($5,000 Short-handed NLH), ensuring his arch-nemesis E-Fro didn’t get to enjoy the spotlight one moment longer.

Madsen, who if his friends don’t call him "Mad Dog" already they definitely should now, defeated his arch-nemisis Erik Lindgren heads-up for the title. Clearly, Madsen has it in for "E-Dog" as well, as he denied the popular pro, who had a sizable cheering section on-hand, his first ever WSOP bracelet.

Clearly, Jeff Madsen "has it in" for a lot of people, and is making arch-nemisi* faster than he’s racking up WSOP prize money (over $1.4 so far this year). However, how Madsen exacts his vengeance on people, it is safe to say that Wicked Chops Poker will be doing whatever we can to get on his good side. An arch-nemisis of his is something we do not want to be.
